The Dan Marino of today will salute him when it happens. It's going to happen. With 3,689 yards, Brees leads the NFL in passing yards and he's on pace to break the record. He's averaging 335.4 passing yards per game, which puts him on a pace for 5,365 yards.
Brees usually isn't one to talk about records, but he made it known Marino's mark is something he wants.
"I'd be lying to you if I said we didn't really want to have that record," Brees said.
